Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1669, falling in love with Daming

In the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Ming Dynasty, Da Vinci was strolling leisurely on the campus.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many teachers and students on campus have gone home to celebrate the New Year, and a few who are far away choose to celebrate the New Year at school.

Therefore, the whole school also became quiet.

"It will be Hongzhi's twenty-five years soon, and one year flies by so quickly."

Da Vinci looked at the campus in front of him. This campus covers a large area and the campus environment is extremely beautiful. It has more than 200 teachers and more than [-] students, all of whom are studying fine arts.

Through Liu Jin's recommendation, Da Vinci also successfully became a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts. He can receive more than [-] silver dollars every month. The income is very high, which also allows Da Vinci to live in Daming. worry-free living.

He established three new disciplines of sketching, oil painting and sculpture here, and accepted dozens of students.

"People in Daming really attach too much importance to education."

"There are more than a dozen such beautiful colleges in the capital of Ming Dynasty alone, involving many disciplines and fields such as physics, chemistry, mechanics, astronomy, construction engineering, shipbuilding, art and music, and smelting."

"The annual investment in education is calculated at tens of millions of taels of silver, and elementary and middle schools are set up everywhere, so that every child can receive education as much as possible."

"It's unbelievable, unbelievable!"

"The powerful and wealthy empire in the East is so extravagant."

It has been several months since I came to Daming, and I have a certain understanding of Daming.

What impressed him the most was how much the Ming people attached importance to education.

There are schools everywhere, all kinds of professional colleges and universities, and huge investment in education, all of which have had a huge impact on Da Vinci.

You must know that during this period, whether in Europe, the Middle East, or the East, knowledge was something that was monopolized by the aristocracy and the rich.

On the European side, although the characters carried by the Latin alphabet are relatively easier to learn, the people who can really receive education are still limited to a very small number of people, nobles, monks, businessmen, and the absolute majority of ordinary people are still illiterate .

But Daming, they are so crazy that they want every child to receive education, a large number of schools can be seen everywhere, all of them are free to study, and they also provide a free lunch to these children.

Every year, Liu Yuan, a great nobleman, spends tens of millions of taels of silver on education. The Ming court and other nobles, families, businessmen, etc. are also keen on education, and the silver invested in it every year They are all astronomical figures.

Such a huge wealth is still in education, if the European monarchs find out, their eyes will turn red, and they will call the people of Ming Dynasty stupid.

The people of Ming Dynasty run education seriously. The school is extremely beautiful, and the salaries of the teachers in the school are also very high.

He is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts, and his annual income is several hundred taels of silver, which is definitely a very high salary. You must know that ordinary Ming people only have a few tens of taels of silver a year, and his salary is equivalent to that of ordinary people. Ten times the number of people, it shows that the people of Ming Dynasty attach great importance to education.

There is also the serious attitude of the students in learning, which Da Vinci admired quite a lot.

He has carefully inspected some schools, and all the schools are extremely strict in teaching. The teacher holds a ruler in his hand, and the ruler is ruthless to students who are disobedient and do not study hard.

Coupled with the fact that Ming people attach great importance to education, even if they are beaten, these children have no place to cry. If they go back and tell their parents about this, they will be beaten again.

This also formed the consistent strict style of the Ming education circle.

This is the style of traditional Confucian education. The word strict is not a joke. Even if the emperor's son is not good at studying, the teacher can still use a ruler to beat him.

In such a country that values ​​education, is strict in education, and earnestly studies, Da Vinci finally understood why the Ming Empire was able to sweep all directions and shake the world.

Knowledge is power, and the entire Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to it.

Not only does it focus on education, but there are also various types of newspapers in Daming, which can also spread some knowledge when reporting news.

For example, Daming Daily advocates a healthy life, and advocates drinking more hot water and less unboiled water, etc., which can greatly reduce the occurrence of diseases and improve the physical fitness of Daming people.

In addition, there are professional newspapers such as Daming Medical Journal, which specialize in disseminating medical knowledge. This time, there was an epidemic of hundreds of thousands of people in the Jiangnan area. Everyone can see that if they encounter a similar disease in the future, they can get their own medicine to treat it.

Da Vinci has carried out many detailed investigations and statistics.

He found that the neonatal mortality rate of Ming Dynasty was much, much lower than that of Europeans. At this time, Europe was not even comparable to that of Ming Dynasty.

Although the former Ming Dynasty said that its medical conditions and health awareness were not good, it was much better than Europe.

At least people in Daming will never go without bathing all their lives, at least the cities of Daming are generally very clean and hygienic, unlike European cities, which are dirty and messy, with all kinds of filth everywhere, even noble castles are dirty Dirty.

In terms of medical conditions, the people of Daming still have a relatively mature system of traditional Chinese medicine, doctors and the like can be seen everywhere, and there are also a large number of medical classics and books handed down from generation to generation.

But in Europe, their medical care still depends on barbers. The main method of treatment is bloodletting, commonly known as bloodletting therapy. It is unknown how many celebrities died under this bloodletting therapy in history.

In this kind of Europe, you can imagine how high the mortality rate of Europeans is. Compared with the current Ming Dynasty, part-time jobs are very different.

Daming has already established a complete medical system and system, trained midwives, and invented the method of caesarean section. It is also constantly summing up experience and lessons in newborn care, so that the mortality rate has been greatly reduced. Seven or eight children are healthy and strong.

Even in terms of epidemic prevention, the Ming people are far more advanced than the European side. The Ming people have begun to vaccinate smallpox widely. Through the smallpox vaccination, the Ming people have no news of the spread of smallpox virus for a long time.

This is Daming.

Only when you really come to Daming and live here for a period of time, can you truly understand this powerful empire.

It is definitely not just as simple as the gold everywhere described in Marco Polo's travels.

It is definitely not just the surface of silky silk, white porcelain, and sweet snow sugar.

It is definitely not as simple as the power and wealth of the Ming people that Europeans see now.

When you really get to know Daming in depth, you will find that this huge empire has surpassed all parts of the world in all aspects.

Especially in the fields of education, medical care, and technology, Daming is already far ahead.

It is doomed and inevitable for such a Ming Empire to be strong ideologically, willingly invested, and vigorously popularized.

Da Vinci looked at the Ming Empire from the perspective of a scholar, and he saw the powerful and invincible side of this empire.

Now something can be seen.

Daming's development in all aspects is extremely rapid.

In the field of science and technology, the people of Ming Dynasty have even developed wireless communication technology. This is something that Da Vinci is very interested in and wants to study.

In terms of the economy of the Ming people, the Ming court has now received more than one billion taels of silver in taxes. This is such a huge number that the whole of Europe is less than a fraction of that of the Ming people.

Maybe in ten or twenty years, when these children who received the new education grow up and start to become the middle force of Da Ming, the strength of Da Ming will be truly revealed. There will be explosive leaps and bounds.

In contrast, Europe at this time is like a dark night with no sun.

The dark and decadent rule of the Holy See is still greatly constraining the thoughts and everything of Europeans, and people are ignorant and ignorant.

In the past, everyone always believed that taking a bath would make people sick, but after arriving in Daming, Leonardo Da Vinci also liked taking a bath now, and even began to cut off his beard and hair, liking the refreshing and comfortable feeling.

He found that not only was he not sick, but his body was healthier than before, and his life was more convenient and comfortable.

The ignorance and ignorance of Europe make people seem to see no hope.

"Hey~"

Da Vinci sighed softly. To be honest, he also fell in love with life in Daming.

Teaching here, leading students, and studying physics, astronomy, and medicine that I like, let alone how comfortable my life is.

He originally came to Daming to study, but now he really fell in love with everything in Daming, the humanistic environment, the inheritance and development of knowledge, and everything here, all made him deeply in love with Daming.
